Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini, with claims emerging that they have contacted the Italian.

While chairman Daniel Levy is looking for a young manager to replace Jose Mourinho permanently, the experience and track record of the 63-year-old could change his mind.

Atalanta have turned into a perennial top-four Serie A side since Gasperini took over, and they have not had to break the bank to do so.

Spurs want to do something similar in the Premier League, but it proved impossible under Mourinho.

Gasperini plays an attractive style of football and has also caught the attention of Juventus.

The former Inter Milan boss could help turn Tottenham’s fortunes around, and the fans will definitely love the style of football he plays if he is appointed.

The Italian tactician is not very popular in England, but some Spurs fans know about his exploits at Atalanta. Here is how they have reacted on Twitter to reports linking him with the club:

He would be brilliant considering where he took Atalanta and the fact that he never needed a huge budget to have success
